==Overview==
Knights of House Mortan would regularly emerge, their constant patrols keeping the encroaching predatory behemoths at bay. The towering war machines had become as accustomed to the endless night as the beasts they hunted, the darkness of their home world seeming to cling to them even when standing in the light, and so as to better fight their obscured enemies, the Knights of House Mortan placed a premium upon close combat. It is a tendency that holds to this day.{{Fn|5}}
House Mortan stayed loyal to the [[Emperor]] during the [[Horus Heresy]] and sent their Knights to fight the [[Chaos]] forces of the traitorous [[Warmaster]]{{Fn|3}}. Millenia Millennia later, they and the [[Knight]]s of [[House Althalos]] and [[House Thalmus]], came to the aid of the [[Hive World]] [[Hexis Alpha]], when a [[Warp]] rift spawned a tide of [[Daemons]] across its surface. More than 100 billion lives were saved, due to the Knight Houses successful efforts in defending the Hive World from the Daemons.{{Fn|1}}
Knights of the House Mortan took part in the [[Siege of the Fenris System]] in 999.[[M41]].{{Fn|4}}
